This module permits full administration of your Patient File / Record. It serves as the central repository for your patient files. To create a patient file, the minimum information required is the patient's First and Last Name; however, we strongly suggest that additional information be entered.
The Patient Record screen is divided into three (3) sections. The top of the screen contains a Ribbon Bar and Tabs which gives access to the various components of the Patient file. The middle contains a Patient Panel Summary section. The bottom section of the screen displays the information selected using the ribbon bar tabs and buttons.
Following is a brief explanation of some of the major elements you will find in the patient record.
The patient file has six (6) major sections:
1) General Tab
2) Personal Tab
3) Medical Tab
4) Insurance Tab
5) Patient Health Information Manager
The Patient General section provides:
1. |
a quick summary of the patient file via the Patient Dashboard, |
2. |
a Journal of all patient activities, |
3. |
Access to the Patient Tasks Manager associated to a Patient (Manage items that the staff must do for this patient) |
4. |
Alerts / Warnings Manager assigned to a Patient File (Warns your Staff of things to do for this patient) |
5. |
Access to the Patient PaperFree Manager (attach external multi-media files to the Patient File) |
The Patient Panel - Personal Information Summary includes the following: (see Common Tools and Features for more details).
Patient Status: Provides an indication if the patient is still active or if the file is dormant. The various buttons give quick access to various key sections of the patient information.
Picture Icon (Take Picture): By clicking on the Picture you can take and store a picture of the patient in the file. Any digital "Twain" compliant device (cameras, scanners, etc.) can be used to file the picture. Most Windows based cameras work with this function. A Logitech WEB camera was the product used in the development of the function. (The Picture Me module allows for the transfer of pictures taken by a patient when trying on glasses, for example, to this field).
Upon selection of the Twain device to be used, you will be presented with the device standard control dialogue screen. To complete the operation, please review your device's user manual. Most devices are straightforward and require minimum intervention to take a picture.
New Patient button: This button allows you to enter new patients. It displays a blank file for data entry.
Reports & Forms button gives access to the system user defined reports and forms assigned to the patient file category.
